'Thoughts'

Chapter one: The Deal

Konoha, greatest shinobi village of the five. One would think that beyond the gates of this great powerful village would be a good life of comfort and most of all safety. This would be true, but for one person.

A five year old boy was running away from a small crowd of people carrying an assortment of deadly looking weapons.

"Come back here you demon!"

"Yeah come back so we can finish you off!"

Naruto definitely did not want to come back to be killed. He kept running hoping the old

man would help him, but no one came.

Just when Naruto thought he had lost them, he was then surrounded with no way out. The crowd launched at him ignoring Naruto's pleas. He shut his eyes and waited for the pain to be over. It was quite a while before it was over. When he opened his eyes it was dark and he was in a lot of pain.

"Naruto-kun, are you alright?" a concerned voice asked

It was Third Hokage's voice.

"Old man, where are you and where am I?"

"It's just as I feared…"

"What is it?"

"Naruto-kun, we're in the hospital. During the attack, you were blinded and you are now unable to see."

"…Why does this have to happen to me. I never did anything wrong. Everybody here hates me and I don't know why!" Naruto yelled with some red chakra leaking out.

"Calm down Naruto-kun."

"I'm sorry it's just hard to understand what's going on. Now that I'm blind I guess I won't be able to become a ninja, let alone be hokage."

"Well you can still be a shinobi, but it'll be hard with your handicap."

'He'll probably want to be a ninja still.' The Third thought.

"If you think so then I will definitely become a ninja if I try!"

'Just as I thought…'

The Third chuckled as he left. "Well if that's what you think then in about two years time I will enroll you in the academy. For now stay here and I will discharge you in the morning."

Later that night, Naruto found himself standing in front of a gate in which he felt there was evil on the other side.

"So you have come…"

A claw smashed against the cage and the force knocked Naruto back.

"Who are you?"

"Have you not yet figured it out yet?"

"I am the great Kyuubi no Kitsune and I was sealed inside you. So show some respect brat."

"Respect is earned not demanded", Naruto said coolly.

"You got guts for a five year old, but I'm not here to get you to respect me. (Even though that would be nice…) No I have a deal to make with you."

"What kind of deal?"

"A deal in which you can become stronger by."

"I'm listening."

"I will give you the demon's third eye to you if you train in whatever I have to offer so you can get stronger."

"Why would you do this for me?"

"It's not like I care about you (yeah right) I need you to be a strong jinchuuriki so I don't look weak. I do still have a reputation as the strongest demon alive after all."

"Okay, so how does this third eye technique work?"

"Well I'll need to send demonic chakra to your brain first-"

"Wait a minute; this isn't going to make my brain explode is it?"

"Of course not brat! If you die I die. Now don't interrupt.

"As I was saying, I need to send my demonic chakra to your brain, since the eye is in your mind, to activate it. This eye will give you the power to detect deception and emotions, give you all around vision, and give the power to make genjutsu."

"Wow! That sounds really cool. This will help me become a great ninja!"

"Yes. It might, but it all depends on the effort you put in. Also you must control your emotions like your loud attitude for one. You want to attract little attention as possible or the villagers will jump you again."

"Yes I understand."

"So I think we've come to a deal then."

"…Deal."
